The first floor is a two bedroom two bath, with an open floor plan. Our second unit is a three bedroom, three bath with an open floor plan and very unique front and center turret room. Such a lovely place to read a book and enjoy the view. While the third unit is a one bedroom one bath unit, it has the beautiful views we all desire in this lovely area we call home. So much opportunity for the investor or homeowner who wants to live in one unit and rent out the other two. And so much opportunity for the lucky few that get to live near the marina and walk to downtown Petoskey for dinner! Beards Brewery is a hop skip and a jump home!!
